[QUOTE="ArcticMinibike, post: 172249, member: 10240"] BTW, hardest part of the reassembly, by far, was getting the kill switch screw in the kill switch internal post. I bet I worked on that for 20 minutes or more. It was my very last step at 3:30am. Because the throttle cable goes right through the same space and the post flops all around, it's nearly impossible to line everything up. I had to use the post to push the cable off to one side, then I couldn't line up the threaded hole or risked cross threading due to misalignment. What a pain. Maybe I should have installed the switch first, then run the cable. Anyone have this same problem and suggested solution? Speaking of that area of the bar, how much lube on the throttle slide? The spiral rubs pretty hard on the slide. I used white lithium grease very sparingly. Should I use a bit more? I used lithium because it's light and less sticky. Should I use something else? If so, just in the area on the slide where the spiral engages? I read the posts on the subject here but never really found a consistent answer. I'll probably do the booster spring mod to minimize cruise control, but still thinking on that one. [/QUOTE]
